Thing 18: YouTube & Other Online Video

I had fun exploring YouTube and Google Video. There isn’t much difference between the two. Many of the videos were very creative and very funny. I wanted to stay with my fantasy theme, so I did a “fantasy” search. I found some awesome videos – sand fantasy by Dato and Ilana Yahav. You can see an example below.
It was fun exploring, but I would be very cautious having these sites available. Like you wrote, all things are there to see - the good, the bad, and the ugly.
There are many ways to use videos on a library Web site. It could be a teaching tool, a way to introduce what is available at the library – not just books, recorded book talks, etc.
